The performer tonight was really mean and rude to me for no reason while sitting at the bar before her show.

A great evening of fun and room to dance! Great wine deals and a ton of nice staff! Will definitely start the evening here next time! And then probably end up here as well!

They had a leather horse mask on the wall. So I guess they are the most adventurous and kinky bar in DC.

Not the best vibe. Not welcoming to Latinos/Brown people. From the bouncer to the bartenders!

peculiar bartenders, made me feel very uncomfortable

Trade is one of the only top three gay bars in my list that makes the cut for not only a gay bar but also an inclusive space for everyone. The rest of the gay bars unfortunately, do not make the list of three but if there is improvement, could potentially earn a spot.Every time I go it’s mostly a diverse crowd. Hopefully they’re able to expand next door!The only downside I would say is some Bartenders not just here but also in other bars as well, please smile more and be more engaging with customers if the venue is not busy. I’m not going to tip you for mediocre or even adequate service - just because you made a drink that took a minute but rather, will tip you if you demonstrate who you are as a Bartender (e.g. knowing my name if I’m a regular, asking how I’m doing, etc.).

Always feel safe and welcome at Trade! Drinks are reasonable and bartenders are always kind and attentive. Bathroom can get a little dirty as the night goes on, but that's just the nature of the beast. The drag performances are always stellar!

Very cute gay dive bar, very friendly staff, a little slow but it is a Monday, will definitely be back the next time I'm in the city.
Really cute space with a really friendly staff. I loved the fog and lighting and had good dancing space. The music was not ideal for me, think older dua lipa vibe. If that’s for you then it’ll be 5 stars but that did knock it down for me.

recently had the pleasure of dining at Trade, and I must say, it was an exceptional culinary experience! From the moment I stepped I love the ambiance.

People look very easygoing, good music and it has a back patio that is amazing !

They check ID but no one check bags or pockets are gave anyone a pat down . I'm definitely feeling a little uneasy. This is not good in light of current events. Other than that the bar is okay. The drinks are good and reasonably price. The crowd is diverse, nice and respectful. They definitely have to do some work with security.
